Since hanging Plug Lighting’s shingle in 1998, Lori Bush and Pia DeLeon have accumulated a star-studded following (Brad Pitt, Kanye West and Carmen Electra) by scouring the globe for new designs previously unheard of stateside. They also bring on local talents, such as Angeleno Alison Berger, as long as the work is equal parts jaw-dropping and impeccable—qualities that make this showroom a standout in every category from light sculpture to sconce to outdoor fixture. The pair gladly fields requests that go beyond the inventory, and while they don’t sell to the public, their showroom is open to the autodidactic layperson. (via Elements of Living)

Wierd. But interesting.

I love to work with lighting designers in Los Angeles. They have a store called Plug. They are superb! They have the best of the best. To me, lighting is so important because you can really change mood. (via Elements of Living)
